Guede on rejecting San Lorenzo: “Alianza Lima commitment is huge” | OneFootball

Pablo Guede, head coach of Alianza Lima in Peru, explained why he turned down the opportunity to return to San Lorenzo, even though he seemed to be the main candidate to replace Damián Ayude.

“My agent received an offer from San Lorenzo and I decided to stay at Alianza. I chose to stay because the mutual commitment with the players is tremendous,” he said after the 2-0 victory over Juan Pablo II, a win that put them at the top of the Apertura standings.

Additionally, Guede highlighted his relationship with the Alianza Lima management: “Because of the relationship and the support I’ve received from the sporting management, and because the board behind all of this is fundamental for us to achieve the goal we’ve had in mind since the first day I arrived.”

He also hinted that he never really considered leaving the club, responding with irony. “I loved all the things that were said during the week, people have such great imaginations, I laughed a lot, but this is the reality,” he remarked.

Guede’s refusal has added a new problem for San Lorenzo in their search for a new coach. Martín Palermo is another leading option for the management. Meanwhile, Alan Capobianco, the Reserve team coach, took charge of the team in their rout against Deportivo Rincón in the Copa Argentina.
